How Important Is Diet In Curing Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is predominately a disease of western societies and is largely due to the way we feed and treat our bodies with our artificial food and sedentary lifestyle. Cancer treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are only trying to purge the body of all cancer cells and that doesn’t address the reasons why these foreign cells first grew. That’s why these treatments are often of little help.

The causes of breast cancer are well known but our doctors today are not taught the causes because it’s far more profitable to just treat the symptoms. It is only a modern day problem and only since the middle of the last century when our diet began to change. The highest rates are in all the Western developed countries and it’s uncommon as yet in undeveloped countries, so it’s not difficult to find the reasons why it is occurring.

The way to cure breast cancer is by making changes to your diet and that will remove the known causes and use the self-healing powers of the human body. The human body possesses a superb system of natural defences against all diseases, including cancer. It’s this same system that has kept the body healthy right through life by healing aches and pain, cuts and bruises, infections and even mending broken bones.

Breast cancer is caused by the way we live with our high consumption of food that is unnatural to humans. It’s our consumption of convenient or processed foods which are nutritionally dead because of their processing. Some other causative factors are diets high in animal products, the consumption of alcohol everyday and the use of hormone therapy.

Our sedentary lifestyle also has a big influence on why there is so much breast cancer. These days we surround ourselves with labour saving devices, the motorcar being just one of them and none of which helps the human body get the exercise it so badly needs. The reason we need exercise is that our immune system, which is the system that keeps us healthy, needs muscular activity to allow it to function properly.

Breast cancer when first detected is primary cancer and nobody has ever died of primary cancer. It’s cancer that’s metastasis or shifted to another location that kills people. So your focus has to be on making sure the growth in the breast doesn’t spread to another area. There is only one way to do that and that’s with a natural approach in which diet is a big part. Doesn’t that make sense?

By making changes, especially with your food choices you are addressing and correcting the causes. The reason one gets breast cancer has very little to do with the breasts, that’s only where the symptom is. Removing the breast with surgery won’t stop it from spreading. You must address the underlying cause.

Breast cancer need not be a death sentence but it does pose a formidable challenge because it requires changes, something we’re not very good at. It is important to gain information, do the research because if you just listen to your doctor and follow explicitly what he or she says, that might not be very helpful.
